Whoever upgrades their lxc guests without taking further informed action
(such as switching back to sysv), will not be able to start their LXC VM
at the next reboot( #766233 [1]).

This is currently classified as "a bug which has a major effect on the
usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to
everyone." and thus not RC, so if being RC is currently the precondition
to fix stuff in jessie, then you are right.

Unless at least respective documentation gets included in the release
notes (#762194 [2]) I think there will be some future unhappiness.

At this moment it's a trap waiting to be walked into.
